Cairo - Aswan: Prepare for an extraordinary day of exploration as we embark on a guided tour of the expansive and state-of-the-art Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. Spread across a staggering 490,000 square meters, this remarkable complex houses a mesmerizing collection of relics and antiquities that span nearly every era of ancient Egyptian history. Among the most renowned exhibits is the awe-inspiring funerary mask of King Tutankhamun, crafted from solid gold and weighing a remarkable 11 kilograms. This exceptional mask was discovered adorning the head of the mummy, carefully nestled within a series of three sarcophagi.
Our journey continues as we visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, where the Royal Mummies' Hall proudly displays the preserved mummies of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Prepare to be astonished as you witness remarkably intact mummies, some still adorned with thick locks of hair and visible fingernails—a testament to the remarkable preservation techniques of the time.
After an enriching day of exploration, enjoy some relaxation time at the hotel before we embark on an overnight train journey to Aswan.
Please Note: The Grand Egyptian Museum is scheduled to open in late 2023, but an official opening date has yet to be released. If you are traveling before the opening of the new facility, we will visit the Egyptian Museum instead.
